Deck Description

Get griselbrand on turn 4 optimally. After that, if old Grisey doesnt just plain win for you, use his draw power to lay down blood artists and use immortal servitude to hit 6 damage/lifegain into Lord of the void or another demon. Wash, Rinse, and Repeat. Don't worry if you don't get the apostle's out right by turn 4. If you have a Blood artist, some say it gums up the works, but for a one turn delay (Grisey on T5 isn't bad at all anyway) you can use his draw ability for one life. Sounds good to me

This deck is crazy fun on its nut draws but its pretty much only a kitchen table build, surprisingly though its more consistent than you'd think. The thing is its just not really too competitive in the meta right now due to all the creature control seen today.

How to Play

You can keep hands with one land and a ton of Apostles, usually it works out, and if it has to, the engine still runs perfectly on two land to get a demon T4.

T1 Land, apostle
T2 Land, 2x apostle
T3 Land, 3x apostle
T4 Land, sac for Griselbrand
T5 Swing with Grisey, draw seven, Immortal servitude for one, sac for another demon, land
T6 Swing with Demons, draw seven, land, a blood artist or two, lay apostles
T7 Swing, draw 7, lay more apostles, double apostle effect for 12/24 damage/lifegain with blood artists and get another demon

It sounds crazy, but this actually works rather often. The key is to keep griselbrand however, that's why there's two of him because that draw effect is key.

Let me know what you guys think, I'm still not sure on a sideboard, there's really not much you can change when swapping in, except perhaps other demons, idk you tell me
